Arthur B. Macomber has practiced real property law in the Inland Northwest since 2006 bringing practicality, plain language, and a clear-eyed attention to client matters. Over a fifteen-year period, he built a private practice from a solo practice to six attorneys (including the new owner in 2021) practicing in three States. That firm was sold in 2021, and Mr. Macomber is now a solo practitioner again. The Real Property Law firm has no connection, affiliation, or dealings with any other law firm.

Art has learned a few things over the years about how to practice law and good client service. A couple of words of advice:

Legal Economics. Do not pay an attorney for an initial consultation. What if you don't actually have a legal problem, but a financial or spiritual problem? What if the problem identified falls outside the attorney's practice area? What if personal compatibility is lacking on the first meeting? Why spend money just to meet an attorney? Don't attorneys make enough money? Good attorneys do not need income from initial consultations.

If things click during the initial consultation, and you enter into a Fee Agreement for legal services, understand that it takes time for an attorney to understand your legal matter, and time equals money. Not spending money upfront to understand your legal matter can cost you a lot more in the long run. Avoid expensive mistakes. Understand how the law applies to your specific circumstances before making any legal moves. Get a written legal opinion first. 

Legal Opinion. A legal opinion provides you with the information you need to understand the structure of the law regarding your matter, what specific legal choices you have, and which path is recommended. A legal opinion should be written in plain English so you can understand it. If you hire Art, expect a legal opinion within three weeks, or within a time according to the TimelyContract.com legal solutions time periods at that website.

Mr. Macomber is now only practicing real property law upon Order Requests submitted (with documents) through the TimelyContract.com website. No phone calls please. Due to costs and other factors, this office prefers not to engage in litigation, unless a Timely Contract client requires we undertake it. Mr. Macomber prefers mediation for the permanent settlement of disputes. Either way, Mr. Macomber will not leave your issues unaddressed.
